PRACTICAL RESULTS OF PENALTIES
SPECIAL ENVOY'S ESTIMATE.
PARIS, 12th .Maxell.
A special envoy, in a' despatch from Coblenz, "'estimating- the practical results of the penalties, states in the first place that the occupations are the best conceived and most profitable. The- coal carried through Dtiisberg and Ruhrort is alone estimated at 25,000,000 tons. Secondly, the taking over of the product of the German Customs on the outer fron-. tier of Rhineland bordering France and Belgium does not promise any considerable yield. The British High Commissioner in, Cologns points out that the Customs receipts at Cologne were equivalent to £BCO,OOO during 1920, but he does not guarantee the accuracy of the figures. " Thirdly t the establishment of a Customs cordon between occupied and free Germany is not likely to yield more than £7,500,000 yearly.
